Reviews for Request Control

Wonderful addon, intuitive, great for debugging and mocking HTTP endpoints when you're feeling lazy, no issues with CORS or TLS, really first class - better experience than any other HTTP redirection/interception extension I've used.

I had a problem with a website that I like to use using buggy javascript to repeatedly redirect me to an advertising page where I had checked the option many times over not to return me to that page. I contacted the webmasters, but they were no help whatsoever, and I was seriously considering having to quit using that website.

But then I found this add-on, "Request Control", and long story short, after setting up a "rule" to prevent that unwanted advertising page from appearing again, the buggy website now functions perfectly in spite of its own crappy/buggy programming. So thank you very much to Tumpio for a job very well done, your add-on does a truly terrific job, and I highly recommend it to anybody who is considering installing it.

A terrific replacement for Redirector; I can do everything that I did with Redirector and way more. This addon works seamlessly and is very quick, the redirects that I set up add zero noticeable delay, as if I were to follow the redirected url directly. I've yet to try the Blocking action, but it's very handy knowing that the option is there, and I'm quite fond that this addon works at as low of a level as it does, blocking these requests before they're ever sent out.

Very happy so far, but I had to deduct a star due to the url path not supporting regex. I can work around this with parameter expansion substring replacement, but it would be nice to be able to do my matching in the path field.
